so what's wrong with Dori? costs 30% less than Meropenem and 25% less than Imipenem. Neuro ADR and sensitivity are on par with Meropenem.
If done correctly where marketshare dosen't affect the increase in cost of Imipenem or Meropenem, I would say it was a good move. Ok, it lacks indications... HAP/VAP..and pedi.. but so what. We know it works.
Prove me wrong.

I hate using medications that lack adequate studies for indications. I called the MSL this week (who is a well known pharmd) and asked about atypicals becaue we were using it in a lung transplant pt. He says there is no data...but i kept it on
Carbapenem for atypicals? I know it works... but...
I know I'm speaking anecdotally..and I hate to do it. But if Merrem works, I will say Dori will work...in 99.9% of the time.
Doribax (doripenem)
This **** rips in a test tube

One time in the 60's, we knew (because the drug reps told us) thalidomide would effectively abate your wife's morning sickness......
Me an MSL? Puleeeze..sucka.
I've been neck deep in carbapenem issues for the past 2 years... including the halfy.. Ertapenem.
Dori and merrem are equivalent I say... Imipenem has slight issues because it requires optimum dosing to prevent seizures. I hate that..because Imipenem is gearing to go generic.
Invanz is whole another issue.
